The Gift of Failing

It’s time to break free of the conscious plan to keep your life at bay. The American school/tool system has been carefully designed to keep your mind, body, and life from fully developing to what you can truly become. Can you say you’ve truly lived if you’ve never experienced failure? Failure in itself has been given a bad rap from the many that routinely miss use its terminology of power.

For example, think about when something is interesting to a person, they want to know everything about it. Once that interest is found, it’s amazing to the depths of understanding and retaining of the vital information. Then again, give a task of learning to a person, but he/she barely studied the instructions, the results hardly come back with success or long lasting results. At the least, gaining minimal understanding of the subject matter. That’s life, when something doesn’t work out as planned, but the person is interested in why and studies where it went off track. There’s so much to learn from something that didn’t work in our favor.

John D. Rockefeller said, “I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.” With the exception of Ivy League schools and the extremely priced private institutions, critical thinking is not encouraged within the American school system. Students are stressed with passing a pre-set test based on many instructors’ egos and not being self-thinkers. Asking why it can seem offensive to someone who doesn’t want your awareness to excel past the preset control settings. It’s a successful program of minimization and future control.

At the bare minimum or essential of failure ensures our awareness of strength and resilience. Once realized that said failure didn’t end you; but awakened a sleeping giant if one allows. You now have access to a pre-paid enhanced lesson from life tailor-made just for you. How does one appreciate the successes without understanding its twin of failure? The balance of growth, accompanied by the sweet nectar of knowledge.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. -Robert F. Kennedy

Successful people don’t fear failure but understand that it’s necessary to learn and grow from. -Robert Kiyosaki

Fear regret more than failure. -Taryn Rose

Failure is a detour; not a dead-end street. -Zig Ziglar

In the real world, very smart people fail, and mediocre people rise. Part of what makes people fail or succeed are skills that have nothing to do with IQ. Also, the idea that intelligence can be gauged by an IQ test is erroneous. -Camille Paglia
